JAKARTA - Apple recently introduced Vision Pro. However, not many features have been revealed in the headset with spatial computing technology. One of them, Travel Mode or Travel Mode.

Travel mode is specially designed so that the functionality of headsets can adapt while on board. This feature is only present in the first beta version of visionOS.

Found for the first time by MacRumors, quoted Friday, June 23, which digs deeper into the Operating System (OS), some text strings show the feature will keep users silent to avoid users who are carelessly moving while wearing headsets.

This is certainly avoided by Apple because it is worried that it could be dangerous and disturb other passengers sitting next to it.

The limited scope of aircraft and proximity to other passengers have the potential to cause some headset features to be inaccurate. Therefore, this mode will make adjustments to view tracking to compensate for it.

By disabling or limiting it, Travel Mode can help ensure users do not experience unpleasant or disturbed VR experiences.

In addition, some features of awareness will also be disabled, showing certain sensors and features that depend on spatial awareness may be turned off or minimized.

The Digital Persona feature is also not available in this mode, possibly associated with limited space and disabled awareness features, which are claimed to affect the accuracy and representation of avatars.

As Travel Mode is still in beta, Apple is claimed to add another capability in it when it launches alongside the headset at a price of 3,499 US dollars or equivalent to Rp52 million, early 2024.
